Glasgow's oldest pub is to be demolished and replaced with a student housing development.
A proposal to level the Old College Bar on High Street, Glasgow, has been submitted to Glasgow City Council with plans to develop a 12-storey, 426-bed complex for university students in the area.
The pub dates back to the early 1800s when it was first licensed in 1812.
In the submission, local historian Diana Connell said the structure, with the basement in particular, dates back to 1490 making it the oldest remaining sub-structure.
Despite it's age, the builidng has neber been listed.
The application will now go in front of Glasgow City Council for consideration.
